Quote by -Richard Linklater
Some films really do take years to get going, but I'd say that most of the films I want to do are slightly smaller projects. Some could be sketches. They're not all oil paintings.

Quote by -Richard Linklater
I grew up in Huntsville, which is a main prison town. It's crazy. The conditions are so bad in prison, often, for the inmates.
Quote by -Richard Linklater
I look up and go, 'I'm living in the world I visualized a long time ago.' From making movies, to the Film Society, to just being in a film world. It's a life that I wanted to inhabit. I think everyone has the opportunity to do that in this world - it's just, are you gonna work for it, and how much does it mean to you?
Quote by -Richard Linklater
Filmmakers are going to make films, just like painters are going to paint.
Quote by -Richard Linklater
I was dating girls who were actresses, and that was fun, so I took a playwriting class. But that was short-lived. That was one year. Around that time, I was seeing movies that were making me think in terms of images.
Quote by -Richard Linklater
You're always just trying to make your film, tell the story you're trying to tell - best you can, you know.
Quote by -Richard Linklater
I don't want to be nostalgic for some kind of laid-back Austin where nothing was happening.
Quote by -Richard Linklater

Quote by -Richard Linklater
I think, at the end of the day, filmmaking is a team, but eventually there's got to be a captain.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
When you're in the editing room, the dangerous thing is that it becomes like telling a joke again and again and again. Eventually, the joke starts to not be funny. So you have to be careful that you're not throwing the baby out with the bath water.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
In my view, the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
In film, it's very important to not allow yourself to get sentimental, which, being British, I try to avoid. People sometimes regard sentimentality as emotion. It is not. Sentimentality is unearned emotion.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
In science fiction, we're always searching for new frontiers. We're drawn to the unknown.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
On rare occasions, Dad used to reminisce about when he met Eisenhower and how Churchill would pop in, in the late hours of the evening or night, carrying a cigar, when he'd obviously had a good dinner.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I always shoot my movies with score as certainly part of the dialogue. Music is dialogue. People don't think about it that way, but music is actually dialogue. And sometimes music is the final, finished, additional dialogue. Music can be one of the final characters in the film.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
The word 'religion' is only a label. What lies behind that, the most important thing of all, is the word 'faith'. You either have faith, or you don't have faith, or you have degrees of faith - and if you have degrees of faith, then you become agnostic. You're kind of in-between, or you're on the fence.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I think one of the successes of Gladiator is how we manage to turn on a dime the character from one thing to another where you believe he is one thing and he is something very different.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I'm a yarn teller. My job is to engage you as much as I can and as often as I can.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
It doesn't matter how much faith you have or don't have. I just don't buy the idea that we're alone. There's got to be some form of life out there.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
Because I was a kid from north of England, the only films I had access to was not alternative cinema, which in those days would be foreign cinema; I would be looking at all the Hollywood movies that arrived at my High Street.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
As a filmmaker, deep blacks are essential, and in my experience, no technology captures those attributes as well as Plasma.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
History is only conjecture, and the best historians try to do it as accurately as they can. They try to accurately reassemble the facts and then put them down on paper.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
People say I pay too much attention to the look of a movie but for God's sake, I'm not producing a Radio 4 Play for Today, I'm making a movie that people are going to look at.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I think there's nothing worse than inertia. You can be inert and study your navel, and gradually fall off the chair. I think the key is to keep flying.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
I was one of those kids who tended to stay in on Saturday nights. My mother used to come and say, 'Why don't you go to the dance with the boys?' And I'm going, 'No, I'm perfectly happy.' I think my parents thought I was definitely weird.

Quote by -Ridley Scott
Same thing with film, by the time you've finished shooting and you've really been into everything, you've touched up everything in the editing room. You've gone in there and taken little bits from everything.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
Digital is a different world because you are sitting at home and a hi tech piece of equipment today is within reach of most people, so they are watching a pretty hi tech version of whatever you've done.
Quote by -Ridley Scott
